How important is it to get higher rearsets? The naked 1st gens have (IIRC) 1" lower and farther forward rearsets than the S model 1st gens. Should I get 1" up/back riser plates? Or try to swap rearsets with someone with an 'S' who wants more leg room? Or should I buy aftermarket rearsets? Or should I not even worry about it, and just start going to the track?

Thanks,
Miles

PS: I just bought a front end off an '06 GSXR750 that comes with clipons, so I'll try riding with those to start with. ]]> SV Modifications and General Maintenance MilesInCO http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131638 http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131637&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:28:56 GMT I have (with this post) 26 post and my join date was 8-21-10 so any idea?

I pulled over and checked and come to find out one of the rear set bolts(holding it to the bike) had fallen out, so when I tried to shift up I moved the whole set.

So, we used string and a peice of metal from a key chain to put in the bolt hole so I could ride home....

I didn't have that size bolt(GD!!!) so I used a zip-tie! One through the hole and another through the adjusting holes and around a peice of metal by the chain.... no pics i know I suck at explaining.....

So, it's back to new...... not. But, it works fine until I can pick up the proper size bolt.....:facepalm: ]]> SVRider Motorcycling Forum 05streetfighter http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131635 http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131634&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:10:34 GMT Heres my little project I did over the weekend...I still have a couple changes to make to it (license plate mounting bracket) but IMO it looks much... Heres my little project I did over the weekend...I still have a couple changes to make to it (license plate mounting bracket) but IMO it looks much better than stock...And didnt cost me a penny! It uses the stock fender as you can see so theres no worries about water getting in...What I would like to do is instead of bolting the license plate to a bracket then bolting the bracket to the fender, Just get a single bracket and bolt it from the plate to the fender...


Opinions??

But I'm wondering what kind of "free" modifications are out there. I've been told that inverting the shifter for GP is a good mod?

A friend of mine picked this 2006 Sportster 1200 up for $4,000 with only 260 miles on it. He hated the brakes and the way the front end felt so he put a GSXR front end on it. Looks kind of cool I think. I got a chance to ride it briefly and it rides nicely, very smooth, lots of torque. Brakes are fantastic!

He is going to have the rear wheel powder coated black along with the rest of the non-black parts back there. ]]> SVRider Motorcycling Forum SDRider http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131627 http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131626&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:40:07 GMT My rear brake actuates the brake light just fine, however the front lever does not.

Some of the lights somewhat turn on, but not bright enough to indicate I am braking.

I tampered with it a little bit and found some other loose connections in the back by the rear seat. I re-crimped those and solved whatever problem was soon to come, which included my right rear signal light.

Is there any easy fix for this that someone knows? Maybe this happens all the time or something... ]]> 03 + SV650 Tech smmy195 http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131626 http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131625&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:12:54 GMT Purchased my SV a couple of months ago, still sorting things out.

Originally it had drag bars on, I found them to be too wide and straight, a bit low. So I reinstalled the OEM naked handlebars - they are very comfortable, but I'm thinking that the Hawk clip ons look like what I'd be happy with.

Are there any issues installing them on a 2004 naked? Fork tubes are 41 mm., correct? Brake lines and cables should be fine? Clearance to tank OK? If anyone has hawk clip ons on their naked, please chime in to give your opinion. Pics - even better.

Is it loaded with technology, or does it meet your standard living needs?
2,000 square feet, or 20,000 square feet?

Since I left what was my modest little dream home, and moved into my money pit, I've been thinking a lot about what I want vs. what will make me satisfied.

That leaves me daydreaming about my fantasy dream house...

I want a log house with a south facing veranda, lots and lots of windows, about 3,000 feet on main level.
I want vaulted ceilings with a loft bedroom. 2 full bath, open concept main floor.
I would like the downstairs to have southern exposure door and windows at grade level. I want the spare rooms in the downstairs, along with the 2nd bathroom, and a kitchenette for guests.
I would have a few walls drywalled, but most of them all exposed log.
I don't want high tech gadgets, but I do want all the appliances to be top of the line, and energy efficient.
I would also like to be off the grid...somewhere in the woods, here in N.S. ]]> Open Forum Michelle http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=131624
